Part of an 8 piece set from the John Jay Pittman collection:

 

From the John Quincy Adams (estate) Collection, a Bremen 24 Grote (1/3 Thaler). A budget-ish piece, and kind of cool to think that a former president might have owned this coin. I know that the collection was added to after his death.

 

AV 40 Franc 1811-A Paris
France / Premier Empire
Napoleon I
Lissner Collection

 

I know, it's not a coin. About the only paper I collect is Delaware Colonials. I was born and raised in Delaware and they fascinate me. This is a piece from the Newman collection. Of course, he wrote the definitive reference on colonial paper money.

 

Pretty stark penalties for counterfeiting back then

 

I wonder how often it was actually enforced.

I'm trying very hard to keep up with the OP but he has an awesome collection and is always way ahead of the rest!!

 

Ptolemaic Kngdom. Ptoloemy II (284-246 BC) Octodrachm.......Dr. Spencer Paterson Collection of Ancient coins:

 

Here's a well worn sestertius of Nerva. Normally I would have no interest in owning such a worn coin, but I bought it for the tiny eagle stamp to the left of Nerva's portrait, indicating its prior residence in the Renaissance family Gonzaga collection. A brief summary of this provenance is given in the CNG link below to another coin having such an eagle insert. My coin is ex Triskeles 7, 17 Sept. 2013, lot 167. It came with an earlier auction ticket stating: "Ex lot 134, United Services Institution collection, Sotheby Sale 1895."

"The silver eagle collector’s mark found on the obverse of this and a number of other Roman imperial coins has generated much speculation regarding its owner. Originating with Cavedoni (Atti e Memorie Accademia di Scienze, Lettere, ed Arti [1825]), who based his assumptions on an earlier statement of Maffei and the vague assertion of Eckhel, this mark was assigned to the d'Este family, a wealthy and powerful Renaissance family from the Emilia-Romana region of Italy, whose badge included an eagle. Such an attribution contradicted earlier numismatists, including Spanheim (Dissertationes de praestantia et usu Numismatum antiquorum [1717]), who asserted it was the mark of the Gonzagas, the rulers of Mantua, a city with an important ancient Roman connection (it had been the poet Vergil's birthplace). In 1433, the Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund granted Gian Francesco Gonzaga (1395-1444), the first Marquis, with the privilege of new coat-of-arms, which contained an imperial eagle badge. This device was included on the town's silver coinage for the next two centuries.

Simonetta and Riva (QT VIII [1979]) revisited the controversy, concluding the mark was that of the Gonzaga family. Such a mark served to inventory the piece to their collection, which, from the extant inventory, included a number of important Roman coins. Beginning in 1628, these coins were dispersed in order to fund the family's political and territorial ambitions.

In their follow-up article (QT XII [1983]), Simonetta and Riva presented a heretofore unknown 1653-1654 French narrative (Voyage d'Italie curieux et nouveau [Lyons, 1681]), as further evidence of the Gonzaga connection. Writing of his visit to Mantua, the author, Jean Huguetan, speaks of the coin collection having already been dispersed; these coins, however, can be recognized "by a small eagle with which they have been stamped (à une petite aigle dont on les avoit marquées). This statement supports Spanheim's later one regarding similar coins (ex insculpta in iis, Gonzagarum insigni, Aquila) in the possession of the d'Este dukes of Modena. While the d'Este had since married into the Gonzaga and had acquired specimens in early dispersal of the Mantuan collection, they have no specific association with this collector’s mark."

 

Stunning Oktadrachm A fair chunk of change back then!
